The power of plants

Originating from the Balkans and dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine, the horse chestnut tree was known in ancient times for its medicinal properties. In the 19th century, a French doctor revealed its benefits in treating circulatory problems.

Skincare benefits of Organic horse chestnut flower extract

In cosmetics, organic horse chestnut flower extract helps to stimulate the skin’s micro-nutrient network by delivering nutrients through the skin tissue.

Responsible sourcing

Our organic horse chestnut flowers are sourced in the Massif Central, primarily in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. They are used for our extract, hand-picked between April and June using the most flora- and biodiversity-friendly methods. Our partner favours responsible harvesting sites. Every effort is made to preserve the trees and ensure the ecological management of the spaces: no pruning, and just one to two thirds of their flowers picked, only when they are completely open. One of these sites is a private park which is also a natural bird sanctuary in Ardèche.
